Powershell doesn't have a chance to help you because the limiting
factor is Test1.bat.
CMD doesn't have functionality that lets you do what you want
directly.
I can think of 4 answers.
The simplest is to put 'robocopy c:\ d:\ <filename.txt>' in
somescripts.ps1.
The next simplest is to convert Test1.bat to PowerShell.
You could also run SomeScripts.ps1 outside Test1.bat and have it call
Test1.bat with your values as arguments.
If you really MUST use CMD the way you've described I can only think
of an ugly way.
Have somescripts.ps1 write the value to a file then use FOR /F in
your .bat to retrieve/use it.
